Default Re: Drilling (Need some information)

The second picture in #6. Proofed for smokeless (Nitro), using 15 grams of powder and a Steel Jacketed Bullet (Stahl Mantel Geschoss)

The bird over the Crown-over-U looks like the final black powder proof.

The more I look, the confuseder I get.

The height of the cross on the crowns looks East German, 1950 to 1992, Suhl proofhouse.

Everything else appears to be 1891 to 1939.

Look at #10 on this page. Crown over W - choked barrel.

Then the 6th one in the second table here. Also crown over W. Also choked barrel. The height of the cross.

I'm pretty sure it's German.
